Running in the Rain: Check!

CF Awareness month, glowing in the dark and epic baking

 

 

May is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month so we decided to double up on our challenges and kicked this month off with an electrified run at the Ethiad Stadium in Manchester. Our friend Sandra helped us with this challenge so the four of us geared up for our 5k on Saturday.

Now you may be thinking, 5k isn't a big deal - not compared to a marathon anyway. You'd be right in thinking it isn't necessarily a big deal for some people - Sandra for instance breezed through it. For us on the other hand, as non-running people it was a pretty big deal, especially considering we did it in the pouring rain!

 

Said pouring rain

Drenched isn't the only special attribute we were sporting on Saturday though, as this was no ordinary run but an electric one - meaning we covered ourselves with all manner of UV paint and glow sticks and ran in the dark! I've shared some pictures below as this was quite a feast for the eyes.

 

We are so glad that we managed to complete the run with the first wave of runners and in such high spirits as well. Definitely couldn't have done it with out the knowledge that there are lovely people cheering us on and supporting our efforts of #challengingCF !

 

Much love,

Maria, Noni and Georgie (& Sandra)

 

Ps. Look out for our next update on May challenge number 2 - Epic Bake Sale @ Keele
